    Thumbs up Heavy bevel action

    Work in progress....

    Old W&B "Diamond Edge Razor" wedgie. Standard sand it down, and hone 'er up...left the hollows with 400grit satin finish to highlight the bevely goodness.

    The bevels are 1/8" wide each, no spine taping for this grand old lady.

    Went out and got a diamond 1200grit hone for this one, as it is quite a bear trying to blast through so much celebrated fine India steel. As a side note, you really MUST break in a 1200 diamond stone on a chisel flat or something, or it will eat your razor's edge alive.

    Or so I hear..

    Just take the brandy-new 1200 hone, and a chisel, or other such hard, flat metallic object and rub that hone with the chunk-o-steel until it is no longer leaving a very flat matte finish, but more of a satiny-shiny finish.

    Not quite there yet, but getting close.Finished down to 3um on lapping film. Cutting HHTs pretty smooth, but I'll wait til I put the scales on to really put the final shaving edge on her...
